Week 11 2018

Active 24 fitness

We are very busy at the moment here in the Connacht Hotel with our renovations in Active 24 Fitness. The gym currently is undergoing a massive facelift, which includes extending the floor space and the acquisition of new equipment to add to the existing compliment. The 24 hour gym which is very popular with guests and members alike is shut for the week but we are still offering classes throughout the day so that members are accommodated during the week. The pool area is operating uninterrupted during the week so you can enjoy a swim, sauna, Jacuzzi and the steam room. We can’t wait to see the finished product this weekend when the doors open and we get back to normal in our brand new gym.

This Saturday afternoon two of the great names in club football take the field in Corke Park to see who will be crowned 2018 All Ireland Club Champions. Corofin from Galway, the 2015 Champions take on Nemo Rangers who have seven titles in the cabinet but are without a win since 2003. Corofin have dominated Galway football for the past decade and with a full strength panel to choose from on this weekend they are ideally placed to bring yet another national title across the Shannon to Galway. The game is live on TG4 at 2pm and we send our best wishes to all involved from the team here in The Connacht Hotel
